(Marin County Super. Ct.
Nos. JV25114A, JV25115A)
In 2010, C.D. (Mother), mother of A.M., C.B.D., and C.D., filed a petition under California Rules of Court, rule 8.452 to set aside the juvenile court's order setting a permanency hearing under section 366.26 (366.26 hearing) for all three children, and we affirmed the order as to C.B.D. and C.D. (April 22, 2011, A130664). The following year, Mother filed an appeal (the first appeal) from the juvenile court's orders denying her petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 388 (section 388 petition) for reunification services as to C.D. and terminating her parental rights to C.B.D. (July 27, 2012, A132559, A132864). We affirmed those orders.
To obtain context, maintain consistency and economize judicial resources, we take judicial notice of our prior opinions and the record in the prior matters. (See Evid. Code, § 451, subd. (a); In re Luke L. (1996) 44 Cal.App.4th 670, 674, fn. 3.)
While the first appeal was pending, Mother filed the instant appeal challenging the juvenile court's subsequent order awarding legal and physical custody of C.D. to C.D.'s father and terminating jurisdiction over C.D. Her sole contention in the instant appeal is as follows: "Th[e] [Court of Appeal] has not yet addressed the issues Mother raised in her prior appeal . . . concerning her section 388 petition for reunification services [as to C.D.]. [¶] Since the prior orders must be reversed for reasons stated in the first appeal, all subsequent orders based on those improper orders must also be reversed." However, as noted, we have since affirmed the juvenile court's order denying Mother's section 388 petition. Thus, we hereby dismiss the instant appeal as moot.
DISPOSITION
Mother's appeal from the juvenile court's order awarding legal and physical custody of C.D. to C.D.'s father and terminating jurisdiction over C.D. is dismissed as moot.
